MissSunshine • 漂泊洛杉矶:Wish to see a feature of this!
Coincidentally, I'm developing a doc on Chinese international students RIGHT NOW and it got picked from USC film school to produce within next semester. If you were here in LA by then, you are more than welcome to come on board!
After watching your short doc, first of all, I have to say that I don't want to see the end. I want to see MORE! Do a feature out of this dude!
Second, I admire your courage to portrait filmmakers, since you are a filmmaker yourself. Because when I chose my characters, I intentionaly avoided film school students. I felt we are a group of students that is far more different from the others. Our work is something deals with communicating cultures, but we are at a place that we don't own the mainstream culture. I didn't want to face the reality of ourselves'. In a way you inspired me to open my arms and embrace the reality.
Finally, talking about our realities, I did want to see the huge gap between our hollywood dream and film schools. The four main characters in the film are all interesting to watch and follow. I connected to them right away. But I felt that you didn't show the gap lying in front of them that much. I did see some subtle part of it through their interviews. Just wish to see deeper that how this gap influences their daily life and long-term plans.
A lovely touching movie. Those footage you showed from those character's works are just stunning. Every time when camera turns 180 degree, focusing on the people and things behind it, I just can't help to wish that they all lies. Otherwise how could we make a beautiful dream when we live an ugly life. Thanks to that all the filmmakers have a STRONG heart.
Good job!
